<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4302510, member: 18716&quot;]Agree with [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] it&#039;s almost certainly a synthetic sapphire, they were very popular from the 50&#039;s to the 70&#039;s and you get some very large examples on rings and brooches from the period when they had perfected the process of growing large flawless boules.&nbsp; The colour shifting ones were (are) sometimes called synthetic alexandrite which is a misnomer as they are corundum which is entirely different to alexandrite.&nbsp;&nbsp; Synthetic alexandrite is produced and is very expensive compared to synthetic sapphire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
